In the center of Leipzig the one-track railroad bridge for the streetcar line Halle(S)-Leipzig crosses the Lindenthaler Street which is used by streetcars and automobiles simultaneously. The design calls for a three-span bridge with pairs of central steel supports placed off the street and a monolithic connection to the abutment walls. The superstructure, a trough bridge, is composed of two longitudinal girders consisting of a concrete chord and a flat arched steel girder each with a concrete slab in between. The use of compact steel and concrete elements as well as the omission of joints and bearings resulted in a durable and easily maintained structure. The bright concrete cornice connected to the color of the steel girder and the steel supports emphasize the light and cheerful nature of the bridge. The required sound protection is attached to the longitudinal girders and designed as an additional attribute to the bridge.
